What is a career coach?
A career coach partners with students and job seekers of all ages in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaches honor each individual as the expert in their own life and work and believe each individual is creative, resourceful and whole.
Standing on this foundation, the coach’s responsibility is to:
Help clarify, and align with what individuals want to achieve
Encourage self-discovery
Elicit solutions and strategies
Hold each individual responsible and accountable
